The law was changed at some point for diesel, so technically you are allowed to pump your own diesel here, and I do most of the time, but they tend to give you the stink-eye the whole time...
I always fill my own too. At first the attendants were a bit squirrely. They got over it when I explained it was slow filling and I was tired of getting diesel on my flatbed from an inattentive attendant, who doesn't listen when I warn them.

My 97 fuels just fine, even used the large nozzle a few times it didn't even fit very well but filled it up pretty fast. Only problem is when I go to pay the bill

okay guys.

Your very lucky I have a ... well a memory that gathers useless info.

For those weak of heart, this isn't ... 100% appropriate, but it was on public tv, so its safe.

Sorry to hear that Todd. I know you were excited to get those. That sucks.

That should be good for a claim against USPS!

Richard, not sure what the rollover valves are? I've been thru my 96 and I'm not sure what that is.

I'm not sure, but I think he's talking about the little spring loaded flapper at the mouth of the filler neck. I may be wrong on that though.
